I saw that in phoenix az the safety recall began on September 13,2010 for fuel system, gasoline;storage. Reported an saftey complaint on July 16th, 2020 11:45 pm phoenix az. Electirocal stability control started on June 10th 2020 didn't think much of it car cut off at an red light I turned my hazard lights on put the car in park and started the car up again. This happened again on July 15th 2020 took it in to the dealer( auto action 1827 w broadway rd) I pay a car note with told them what happened they said they needed to run it to see what was going on and would not present and spare car for the inconvenience or had any car fax on hand. July 16th 2020 I noticed that oil was indeed leaking from the bottom of the car.
My 2009 Nissan Cube had a recall for the manufacturing defects associated with the electrical steering column lock (escl). It went out in January 2020 and the Nissan dealer wants 832. 00 to repair what is a Nissan manufacturing defect. Investigating this it was found that in January 2012, just before the car was purchased from the Nissan dealer, the escl recall was fixed at the murfreesboro dealership. As I wasnt the owner at the time I do not have paperwork to show this, only the word from the dealer. The escl is obviously still a problem but the dealership said since it was fixed once that met the recall criteria and I have to pay for the manufacturers defective escl. The red light with the key came on when it was parked at a store and wouldn't move so it was towed to the Nissan dealer. They have stated the part is 579. 93 and the labor will be 312. 50. Nissan consumer hotline was contacted and they said that it was repaired but wouldn't give me a date/place so I called the dealership I bought it from to get this information. They are the ones who stated it was done in January 2012 when it was in their possession to sell on the lot. Since it is a documented manufacturers warranty and the dealership supposedly did the work while the car was for sale on their lot (meaning we have to trust they actually did the expensive repair), when the problem still exists why is it not being covered? this is a well documented problem throughout the internet of Nissan 2009 Cube owners who to this day are having problems with the escl and the extremely expensive repair bills that go with it.
Same issue as the owners in this thread with regards to the escl. Went to start my car as a snow storm was starting and no luck. My local Nissan dealership said it was an issue with the escl and that there was no recall on the Cube. However, my partner owns a 2009 altima and had the same issue a month ago and got it fixed at no cost. The fact that numerous 09 Cube owners are experiencing this issue around the same time with no offer to recall or reimburse us is ridiculous. I have emailed customer service with screen shots of everyone's complaint and reached out to Nissan via twitter. They have responded and are looking into the issue now. Fingers crossed they do something for us.
Steering wheel does not lock. Dash lights come on, key is recognized, but sometimes engine does not start due to dead battery. Failure seems to be steering lock mechanism in unlocked position at all times causing battery to drain. Battery replaced 2 times in 9 months. Alternator checks out good. Tired of being stranded!!!!car was stationary when incidents occur. Happening every other day for past 2 months.
Performance recall p1225. Car continues to face same recall problem.
The horn is not able to be heard in traffic. I was on the freeway driving behind my sister. Needing to get her attention as I noticed she had a flat on her car, I was honking the horn on my Cube. She did not hear the horn at all. If a person in a car can not hear the horn I do not believe that a semi truck or such type vehicle will be able to hear my horn either and a serious accident would not be avoidable since the horn would not be heard. Also the handling of my car in any windy condition is not safe. If you are driving faster than 30 mph and it is windy or a big gust of wind sweeps by I better be holding on to the steering wheel tight with both hands. I have been on the freeway going 55 mph, the wind has not been that bad but the car has been moving all over the place and I have to hold on to the wheel with both hands and feel that I really don't have control over the vehicle. I have a teenager that has just started driving and do no way feel safe letting her take this vehicle out. I do not even feel safe in this vehicle anymore.
